///M5 2,833 Posted September 21, 2007 Sounds like a framed window would have been better than a frameless. Solution of course is to build your own frame without it no seals will take the pressure, except perhaps if you really glued the shit out of it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amatt85 0 Posted September 21, 2007 is it a wall or no wall? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Baccus 1 Posted September 21, 2007 no wall yet !!! but its in the works.the window is 1 that lifts up without having to open the back hatch, so it has a flemssy latching system, and the window is really moving when the subs are @ a moderate volume... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amatt85 0 Posted September 21, 2007 this would be kinda difficult and make it a PITA if u ever wanted to open up your hatch...lol...but assuming there is like a factory 'handle' on the window in question, it is probably held on with some screws. u could take the handle off, run a brace from like to box to where the screw holes are on the back window, and then secure with screws from the outside....just a though..maybe a stupid one...lol 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Baccus 1 Posted September 24, 2007 throw some faom in there and see what happens... closed cell like second skin overkill? foam on the glass ? or do you mean foam in the back door cavitys ?i am having a problem with the back window flapping like a bird wing when the subs are humming...the link to the pics was so you could see the back window in question... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emperorjj1 2 Posted September 24, 2007 ya i remember te pics... the problem with the explorer is the window isnt built in so its flexing at a different resonace then the outer fram piece. adding said foam to the metal surounding the window should act like weather stripping and prevent air from spilling out.... IMO its either that or siliconing the damn thing shut. straps wont work because eventually it will brake the chit out of that window 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emperorjj1 2 Posted September 25, 2007 If the factory latch isnt keeping the pressure in then i doubt a piece of plastic with not so great adhesive is going to work 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommy 0 Posted October 5, 2007 if only the cloth area of the strap is is touching the glass you will be fine. a couple of racket straps over the thing and you'll be fine at comps 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
